About Amanda
Counsellor Amanda Wild is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' practice. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as self-esteem and parenting concerns.
Amanda offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on how past events continue to affect day-to-day life. She uses a mix of talking approaches to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.
Her approach is grounded in Person-Centred ideas that place the client at the centre of sessions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, and on psychodynamic thinking to look at recurring patterns that come from earlier relationships. Solution-Focused methods are used when a client wants practical, goal-oriented steps.
Amanda has worked with people who have survived sexual and domestic abuse and with others facing addiction and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports those dealing with life transitions, grief, anger, body image and midlife concerns.
She practises across the United Kingdom and offers work in English. Before booking, people are asked to use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Working online with therapeutic approaches
Amanda uses Person-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Person-Centred work involves open listening and helping people talk through what matters to them. It suits people who want time to explore feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical ways to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amanda will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree together what to try. That makes sessions a collaborative effort rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone, or sessions that do not need video if that is preferred. Registered professionals can use different ways of working remotely, so discuss format and timing when arranging the first meeting.
